Day of the Dragon King

The magic tree house takes Jack and Annie back two thousand years to ancient China where they must find the original copy of an old legend before the Imperial Library is burned down by the evil Dragon King.

Comment

It isn't too often where readers may stumble upon literature with exposure to different ethnic groups or history in it. I really enjoy the Magic Tree House books because they create (mostly) accurate pictures for children of different ages. Older ones will naturally pick up things at a slightly faster rate, such as the fact that there isn't too much diversity in books nowadays. Regardless, Mary Pope Osbourne sets a good tone on Ancient China and the bamboo scroll the kids need to retrieve. The explanation was good overall.
